Ansel is 4 months old!
Like his older siblings, we held a food ceremony for him, a tradition which my mum-in-law told us to carry out for the firstborn over a decade ago when we were still living in Sweden and have kept ever since.
Prawn, chicken drumstick, biscuit, apple and brown rice cereal - these are the five items that he got to lick and taste on his special day in the hope that he will be good at eating and not be fussy as he grows.
It was heartening to see that this boy loves his food, especially the apple and rice cereal. That curious but happy look on him was just so precious. Hopefully, he will enjoy his food when we start him on porridge when he turns six months old. It makes me excited just thinking about it although it also means we will be even busier when the time comes.
What was even more heartwarming was to see the siblings feeding him with love, enthusiasm and patience. Yup, they are just as, if not more, excited as me to feed the baby and every milestone he achieves always makes all of us proud and thrilled. It's just so nice to be have a baby in the house and to have a bunch of siblings to grow up with.
Happy to see you happy, Ansel! For now, we are still gonna stick to breast milk and maybe just a little cereal for another two months before we start exploring more. Can't wait to introduce more yummy solids to you and go on this fun-filled eating journey with you. We love you! ❤
P.S. Ansel is sitting on his Cocoon high chair from Love Oribel which is not just stylish and pleasing to the eye but functional and versatile too. Love the tray which can be removed and rinsed after a meal, makes life easier for me. Yay!
